Twelve!

Ian had a birthday at the beginning of the year. He is officially a YOUNG MAN, twelve years old! I picked up some doughnuts for the birthday boy since I was the doing the Seminary run that morning. And Ian got to open one gift at breakfast. Poor boy still had to attend classes and even go to his piano lesson that day. No rest for the birthday boy!

He still got a chocolate cake with twelve candles.

He picked Ravioli with alfredo sauce for dinner and of course he got the red plate.

Why Sea Star?

Sophie loves the Ocean and wanted an Ocean name for our School. She came up with the name and so far it works.

What kind of homeschoolers are we?

We are sort of eclectic homeschoolers. We try to follow the principles of Thomas Jefferson Education. We love Charlotte Mason's ideas. And take advice from The Well Trained Mind. Somehow all the bases are covered and WE THRIVE!

Do not then train boys to learning by force and harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be the better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.
